Human puppet

This is a poem about an emotionally abusive relationship I was in, and how I felt in my private hell.

Pull my strings a little tighter
watch me dance in your fire

you are dumb puppets mustn't talk
without my hand you shall not walk
if I foot the bill you have no say
silly puppet you will stay
stupid puppet you are a reflection of me
if I hit you will you behave or should I condemn you to your grave
do you think my kind is always around
selfish puppet now enjoy the ground
poor sweet puppet you're in love
but I control you from above
you will always be near my feet you will be nothing without me
and if I see you move at all without my hand to guide your fall
I will break your every bone and no one will know because you are alone.

I am so sorry that you went through this. But I am so happy you are out of it, and very proud that you had the courage to get out. I hope others read this and find their courage in your words.

Thank you Ron I really hope so too no one should be scared all the time.

[ron]

No they should not.

Your welcome. But I didn't really do much, I was just honored I had the chance.

This is the perfect example to describe an abusive relationship and it is truly scary how controlling one person is willing to be. These types of relationships really shouldn't exist, but they are everywhere, whether we like it or not. A perfect metaphor you used and I am sorry to hear that you had to experience such treatment as this. No one deserves to be controlled or pushed around. I love the emotion and thought you put into this and I am glad you made it through!

Thank you Emily you are very kind, It is sad that these men never change they just always go on abusing people this poem is really close to me because I used words and threats he use to say in it but God was very good to me because I been out of it for about a month now, it has been really hard but I don't live in fear anymore and there is no substitute for peace and happiness. I am really glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you and glad to hear you have gotten yourself out of there! We shouldn't have to go through life day by day living in fear of another. It's just not logical. Looks can surely be deceiving.

That is very true it toke a lot for me to finaly see what I had entered into, I just assumed it was possessive love but it wasn't it was abuse. Thank you for caring :) and I am glad I am out too.

u are very similar to me, i write a lot and a lot of time to get my emotions out on a proper term. well written!

[Shema]

Thank you, this area of me had lots of emotion and sadness but I finally am feeling happy again!

[butterfly]

i only hope this is permanent happiness for u because when we human go thru something like this it will take awhile to recognize our happiness only 'us' know when we have to walk away from the hurts. at least u cried on ur father's shoulder, a strong young one you are. ;)

[Shema]

Thank you, I honestly don't feel I am strong I have had a lot of good ppl support king me and my loving heavenly father. I hope it is lasting too!

[butterfly]

experiences would help ppl to understand more about life with compassion and such. when we go through pain and hurtful time, we dont ever think about how strong we are, we only realize it after. ur loving father will always be there! trust me. any man can leave u but ur father will always be there. im happy to see such a young person like u going thru tuff time but still yet, still putting ur thoughts and emotions rather than inflict the wound onto other. positive is something i pray for every day for the world to practice more
